Such a soft league for QBs yet Allen has been knocked out of multiple games already. Bledsoe never sniffed an MVP, while Jackson was the second unanimous winner in history.
-
They measure all of this at the combine, and he ran a 4.76. You can’t compare playing 3 sports in high school to being offered millions to play in MLB. It’s laughable to compare him athletically to guys who could play multiple sports professionally, especially when those guys are light years better at the sport Josh does play. Watson had a better 40 time, a better vertical, a better shuttle, etc. Josh had better velocity on his throws. Two of the biggest plays in the postseason were runs by Watson (throwing on the run after breaking out of a sack) and Mahomes (torching the Titans for a 30+ yard TD). They run every bit as well as Allen, but they prefer to pick their spots because they throw so well. When the season was on the line and they ran, they were elite runners, though. Either of them could put up similar rushing numbers to Josh if they had 100+ attempts.

Good thing he led the NFL in TD passes, then.

Lamar is 19-3 as a starter with 2 of those losses being against the Mahomes and the Chiefs...and he’s 22. He’s already far superior to Bledsoe’ best.

Rumor/Speculation only: Will Pats sign Kapernick?

EJ was dumped 2 games into his sophomore season. Taylor was dumped for Nathan Peterman after making the playoffs. -
I don’t understand the “higher ceiling” trope with Allen. He’s a good athlete at the QB position, but he’s not an elite athlete compared to guys like Newton, Jackson, Mahomes, Wilson, Watson, or Murray. He’s in the next tier with guys like Tannehill (played WR in college), Lock (high D-1 caliber basketball player), and Prescott. I’d probably put him at the top of that second group, but there’s a pretty clear step down after freakish measurable guys like Newton, Jackson, and Watson and the guys who could have played in the MLB like Mahomes, Wilson, and Murray.

50-26, 3 pro bowls, and 4 division titles in 5 seasons? That’s a franchise guy for the Chiefs. With SF, he was 38-36 with no pro bowls in 8 seasons. He was never a franchise QB for them.

Similar to Dak, people want act like Cam is just average when in reality they’re exactly what Josh aspires to be. Big, strong guys who came into the league as good runners but who struggled with accuracy throwing from the pocket. Cam maintained that style and has been successful but got beaten to a pulp. Dak turned himself into a true pocket passer who can still really run when it’s there but who doesn’t rely too heavily on it.
-
Teams practice plays for when they are needed. They don’t practice throwing random laterals for no reason. That play was 100% Josh’s fault. Knox made a heady play to knock it out of bounds and save Josh looking like an even bigger dunce. Even if Knox had been anticipating Josh going brain dead, the ball was thrown way over his head.
-
It was a ridiculous play. He tossed it blindly over Knox’s head, and even if it worked, Knox wasn’t going anywhere. He was surrounded by Texans. https://tenor.com/view/josh-allen-lateral-sport-players-gif-16607497

That sounds like a huge problem. Are you okay? -

How could anyone even begin to understand the depth of your persecution as a white man in America? -
Jake Fromm: Controversial comments

When you’re looking to find whether a person deserves the benefit of the doubt after discovering the racist comments they’ve made, it’s helpful to see whose opinions they value. When that list is extremely short and comprised of people who tweet things like: “Meet the new KKK, they call themselves ‘Black Lives Matter’ but make no mistake their goals are far from equality. #Dallas #bluelivesmatter.” I’m not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. When people show you who they are, believe them. If you want that guy in your team’s locker room, white more power to you. -

If “a different view” is that “elite whites” should have rights that are exclusive to them, then shame on you for defending that view. You and Jake can stick to reading Tomi Lahren and Ben Shapiro, and you’ll never have to worry about anyone being called out for racist statements. -

That’s a lot of words to say that Fromm made bigoted remarks and got called on it. -

I’m sure people thought Branch Rickey was too political when he signed Jackie. The same types have sung the same song since the beginning of time. The dustbin of history is filled with them, but there’s always room for more. In the end, they always lose. Always -

The same crybabies who couldn’t stay away last time won’t stay away this time either. The NFL has already accounted for the fact that the boomer generation loves to shake their fists, but they can’t throw a punch. For every fixed income snowflake they lose due to this, they stand to gain a millennial who has actual purchasing power for the next 40 years. Best get used to the new reality. People in nursing homes don’t buy season tickets. They’re now the target demographic for reverse mortgages, copper healing bracelets, “tactical” sunglasses, and cashing in IRAs for gold coins. And the players don’t care what you say or do seven days a week. -

Why don’t we just take a look at who Fromm has followed on social media to see if he deserves the benefit of the doubt? If it’s a who’s who of progressive thinkers, he gets the benefit of the doubt. If it’s a bunch of right wing ideologues, then we’ve got our answer. Any Fromm apologists want to play this game? -

Tom has a political science degree from Harvard. Rush Limbaugh dropped out of college after two semesters at Southeast Missouri State. -
